1t is said that many stock growers who
Joined the cattle trust attached themselves
to it without knowing whether it was a
corporation or partnership, naturally sup
posing that such widespread organization
and heavy capital implied the former.
In an article upon this subject the
Central Lato journal, St. Louis, an
acknowledged authority upon legal tech
nicalities, holds that a cattle trust is a
partnership. This being the case stock
holders are liable to third parties as profit
sharers and members Of a partnership.
The periodical cites a decision of the
Louisiana supreme court wherein a cotton
trust vas involved. The Judge ruled that
the concern was not a corporation and
that individual members were liable Tor
acts performed by agents of the partner
ship.

MR.. GALL.
A Page from Ashley Baucroft's Chey-
enne Career.

Ashley Bancroft, the historical conf
dence man, is at present quilting the guile
less citizens of Oregon and Washington
Territory. Ashley and his peculiar
methods will be remembered in Cheyenne
so long as it is considered upbecoming to
relate falsehoods of fine rhetorical
construction for ~pecuniary gain, gamble
and drink. In the words of the cockney
who bruises his pedal extremities by
allowing showers of his to fall upon them,
Ashley was a Jolly boy" and ''deah fel
low" personally. He was a brilliant con-
v~ersationalist, with a truly magnificent
command of slang and store of narratives,
an adept in the manipulation of the bill
lizard cue, reckless and lucky at cards,
with a progressing appearance and a dis
regard for expense and general results
which appalled, his sedate associates.
Hundreds of incidents illustrative of
his assurance and confidence in bis per
suasive powers might be related.
Once he received a rebuff from a
Cheyenne gentleman which, incredible as
the statement may appear. caused him to
assume the subdued air of a tombstone
dealer for fully twenty minutes. The re
buff came from a leading attorney, one of
the most prominent legal gentlemen in
the territory.
Even after Bancroft had discoursed to
his victim for half an hour on the literary
excellence and chronological accurateness
Of the forthcoming history, not emitting
mention of its superior typographical ap-
pearance and famous endorsers, the pros
pective subscriber still hesitated. 1t was
then that Ashley perpetrated the formula
which never before had failed to perform
the work for which it was constructed. In
s~trictest confidence and with blushing
reference to the the judges modesty he
dwelt at length upon the artistic work to
be performed upon the steel plate of his
hearers picture which would appear in the
history of Wyoming, and dropped a hint
that his biography would occupy no less
than twenty pages commencing with his
arrival in 1867. The gentleman who has
often repeated to the scholars of his Sun
day school the tale of Annias and wife,
drew the line. Angered at himself for
wasting valuable time with a man of
Bancroft's splendid accomplishments, he
dismissed the advance agent with:
Young man, you have entrapped your-
self. If the book contains my history as
a pioneer 1t will be inaccurate for the
reason hat l am a new conner. If it
does not you are lying. Good day."

LEROY CAPTURED.
A Cheyenne Jail Breaker Caught in
the Big Horn Basin.
He Is Released Again Because of
the Small Reward.
A Strange But Authentic Story of
the Performance.

A week ago last Tuesday a man driving
a horse bearing a brand belonging to that
neighborhood rode up to a ranch house in
the Big Horn basin which is owned by
Mr.. George W. Baxter, of this city. The
man was dressed like a cowboy, wore a
six shooter strapped to his body and had
a pair of boots which were slit along the
instep as though they were painfully
small for the wearer. There was nothing
suspicious about either the actions or the
name of the stranger, who wished to
stop over night at the ranch. He offered
to pay the cook for his lodging and meals
and drew out a big wad of bills to show
that he could be as good as his word if it
was necessary.
The stranger mixed among the boys at
the ranch very freely and seemed to be as
jolly as any of them. A short time after
his arrival a man named Harris, who is
employed at the ranch, approached Mr..
Fred ?. Voorhees,, who is experimenting
the tally Of Mr.. Bakers herd for the
cattle trust, and said he recognized the
stranger.
"Who is he?" inquired Mr.. Voorhees,,
without feeling very much interest.
His name is Leroy, and he's one OF
the fellows who escaped from the Chey-
enne jail"
Harris wished to know if he could have
two horses to take the man to Lander the
following day. He was assured that he
could, and then said he would make the
arrest the following morning.
A little later, however, a group of cow
boys, including Leroy, got together, and
while examining each others six shooters
passed chem around for inspection. Har-
ris asked to see LeRoy's weapon, and it
being handed over to him he couldn't re-
sist the chance of placing the jail breaker
under arrest. Leroy threw up his hands
and offered no resistance whatever.
1t then became necessary to secure an
other guard for the night. Harris offered
one of the boys 800 to aid him, under
the impression that $500 reward had been
offered Tor LeRoys capture. The W
men kept watch over their prisoner all
night.
Early the e morning, Upon arising,
Mr.. Baxter and Mr.. Voorhees, were very
much surprised to see Leroy j%auntily rid
Ing across the meadow and armed as
though he was prepared to meet any
emergency hat might arse. Upon ask
ing an explanation they were astounded
by the discovery that Harris. who had
learned that the reward offered was only
5000 instead of $500, turned the prisoner
loose. He decided that after paying a
guard 500 he couldn't possibly come out
on the expenses of himself and his pris
oner to Cheyenne on the remaining 800.
Nothing was seen or heard of Mccoy,
but if there is such a thing as luck, it
certainly seems to favor both of these
men so far.

That this city will not long remain the
terminus of the Cheyenne 4 Burlington
is conceded by all. Just which course it
will adopt in departing from the Magic
City is a matter Of conjecture only at
present. Its civil engineers have driven
stakes enough north and east and west Of
north to indicate routes enough for a
score of railway lines. Representatives
of the Cheyenne & Burlington have often
minated that they would be pleased to
tap Silver Crown, an enterprise which
the Union Pacific seemingly regard I'M
worthy oftheir attention. The Cheyenne
& Northern is of no practical utility to
jewellers of the camp, although they are
compelled to avail themselves of its prox-
unity. The Union Pacific could construct
a spun to the smelter, a central point in
the district, by the most feasible route,
and thus handicap opposition, were they
SO inclined.

Champion OF Checkers.

The game of checkers has a good many
votaries in Cheyenne who give themselves
up to its pleasures with much enthusiasm.
The most noted player in this vicinity.
and perhaps as expert as pny in the
western country, is Mr.. E. G. Parker, of
Camp Carlin. Checkers are Mr.. Parker
hobby. His library covers the range of
every book published on the subject that
he has ever heard of and which he could
secure by purchase. He subscribes for
every periodical which treats of checkers
either solely or incidentally, and has been
known to take a trip to Denver to find a
foeman worthy of his steel. Those who
are interested in the game say his play is
simply phenomenal and opens the eyes of
those who do not think checkers a yery
scientific game. There are SO many peo-
pie becoming interested in the game that
a tournament is now talked of.

Parker,s Practical Loke.

L am not worrying a particle about
1t, only it's one of those cases that must
be given prompt attention." remarked
United States Marshal Bierbower yester-
day regarding the $4,000 suit that has
been sprung upon him and Sheriff Doan,
by the man Parker for the arrests made
in connection with the Paymaster Bash
matter. Continuing, Marshal Bierbower
said; by the direction of the attorney
general, United States Attorney Pritchett
has been deputised to attend to our side
OF the case, and for that purpose went to
North Platte last night to have the suit
transferred from the state to the federal
court"
For a fellow who has plead guilty to a
gigantic theft and is now serving a long
term in the p~enitentiary for his crime,
this Parker looms up in an interesting
role.

A MISCEG ENATION.
Almon Perry, White, Marries Emma
Epperson, Colored.

An alliance between a male representa-
tive of the Caucasian race and a young
lady of the complexion commonly styled
coffee color" was celebrated at the
African Methodist church yesterday, Rev.
Isaac N. Triplett performing the matri-
monial ceremony.
The parties to the contract hail from
Boulder and are not, as might be inferred,
e~lopists, having sought Cheyenne because
such a marriage does not conflict with the
Wyoming statutes.
Both are young, Perry being about &c,
while his wife is not more than IS years of
age. The groom bespeaks the cowboy in
his every action and movement. He Is
quite tall and not bad looking. Mrs.
Perry nee Emma Epperson is a rather
comely but typical mulatto, with regular
features, shining teeth, bright eyes and
kinky hair, or wool.
The couple drove about the streets in
the rig which brought them from Colo
RADIO and attracted considerable attention.
Announcing that a license was issued
and the marriage ceremony performed is
equivalent to stating that the alliance is
legal.
Several negroes have married white
women in this city, but never before has
a white man promised to love, cherish
and protect a colored woman in Laramie
county

A Bid From Denver.

A gentleman connected with the Grant
smelter of Denver was in the city recently
in the interest of that establishment. He
stated that the Grant smelter could treat
matte, bullion or raw ore for Silver Crown
owners at figures as low as any eastern
concern. He added that when the Grant
smelter could not compete with Eastern
concerns it would suspend operations.
This assurance is very encouraging to
gentlemen interested in the camp, as the
difference in the cost of transportation
alone is enormous.
SO long as the matte cannot be treated
here let it be manipulated so near home
as possible.

John Oyster, well known to many
Cheyenne people, died at Helena, Mont,

1t is announced that another long dis
lance foot race will occur at the fair
grounds in the near future.
United States Attorney Campbell has
removed his office from the Post block to
the second floor of the Cheyenne National
bank building.
The Chicago Current, at one time a
popular weekly magazine, is shortly to be
removed to New York and published
under the management of Mrs. Frank
Leslie.
Last evenings Denver train consisted
of sixteen Cars. Four coaches were well
filed with California bound excursion
lists from Kansas City and tributary
points.
1t is regretted that Malcolm Campbell
was not in the field when Mccoy and
Leroy were near Douglas. He was COM
PEELED to remain at home and attend to
court business.
Although many volumes of current lit
erature occupy shelves in the county
library, it is not a contradictory statement
to remark that no work on electricity is
listed in the catalogue.
A number of attachment suits have
been instituted against Baker & johnson
since their suspension. They have not
made an assignment and evidently do not
propose to adopt such a course.
1t is hoped that the recently organized
Red Gross lodge will not meet the fate of
previously established temperance socie-
ties. Its promoters are engaged in a
noble work and deserve encouragement
But a single transfer was filed at the
recorders Office yesterday. 1t was a war
ranty. deed for lots l, 2, 8 and 4, block
254, to J. w. Collins from T. G. Murray
and M. NJ. HANNA; consideration stated,

The Southern Pacific traversing a desc
late desert, and the Northern Pacific
passing through a region where terrific
billiards. are of common occurrence in
season, tend to increase travel over the
old and slow, but certain, Union Pacific.
Gordon Collins, brother of Fred Col
Inns, of this city, is in training near St.
Louis for a glove fight to occur between
himself and another famous colored pugi-
list named Godfrey. Several Cheyenne
boxers can testify that Gordon "slings an
ugly left"
A telegram was received here yesterday
stating that Jennie Sharpless, sister of
S. K, o. B. and Miss Della Sharpless,
was dying at Danville, Pa, and that their
aged mother was seriously i'll. Della
S~harpless left for the bedside of the
afflicted ones yesterday morning.
A Butte paper recently noted the fact
that the record had been broken by the
laying of eight miles of track IN one
day. A subscriber offered to wager
800 that the performance had previously
been excelled. The editor promptly GOV
cred the money. The newspaper man
may be right, but where he raised the
800 is an unfathomable mystery.

The report that Sheriff Sharpless and
Deputy Smalley had been killed created
considerable excitement yesterday. 1t

ter and mother.

Stanton and the President.

We quote the following anecdote
from "Recollections of Secretary STAN
ton," by q clerk of the War Depart
ment, in the Century: "When Mr..
Stanley, of North Carolina, was APP
pointed Military Governor of his State,
the Secretary of War caused to be filled
out one of the blank forms used for
notifying military nominees of their
appointment to Office by the President,
and when he had signed it and caused
the seal of the Department of War to
be attached to it, he concluded that it
would be well to have the sign-manual
of the President affixed to the instru-
ment. He sent the commission to the
White House, with the request that the
President would sign and return 1t i'm
mediately. Mr.. Lincoln took the doc
ument and read it over carefully, and
then began turning and twisting it
about, as though in search of some
thing. At last he handed it to the
bearer and said, ironically:
Did Mr.. Stanton say lUhere 1 was
to put my signature?
No, SIR replied the astonished
clerk.
Can you tell me, asked the Presi-
dent, whereabouts on this paper / am
to put my signature?'
The clerk looked at the commission
and saw the ample signature of Mr..
Stanton Immediately at the foot of the
body of the instrument, with the coun-
ter-signature of the Adjutant General
to the left. He saw also neat, snug
looking white space beneath the sign
manual of the Secretary of War which
Mr.. Lincoln might have occupied to
advantage had he seen fit, but the clerk
was polite, and replied:
Il don't see any place provided for
your signature, Mr.. President, and was
proceeding to explain how the omission
obviously came about when the Presi-
dent interrupted him and said, in dig
nified tone:
"'Take the paper back to the Secre-
tary of War, with my compliments, and
say that the President will promptly
sign any proper commission that may
be sent to him for Governor Stanley or
anybody else.'"
